Are you sure it was Nickrolled? Are you sure it wasn't Rickrolled?

Nickrolling sounds like...I don't know...spamming St. Nicks, or Ballistic St. Nicks, at someone.

The other one meaning would be clicking This Link, then googling rick-roll.

Uninspired, yes. Necessary, probably not. Inevitable? Definitely.

Rickroll : from Urban Dictionary.

To post a misleading link with a subject that promises to be exciting or interesting, e.g. "World of Starcraft in-game footage!" but actually turns out to be the video for Rick Astley's debut single, "Never Gonna Give You Up". A variant on the duckroll. Allegedly hilarious.

it's not Rick Jones.. I don't even know who that is, but it's Rick Ashley one guy that made a song called "Never gonna give up" or something like that and people have made a couple of sites (I.E http://smouch.net/lol ) to annoy people on the net

Oh god.... hahaha.

Check out encyclopedia dramatica's article on rickrolling for the best coverage. Bascially, its tricking someone into watching Rick Ashtleys music video 'Never Gonna Give you Up'.

Its an old, dead meme. However, check out barackrolled for something still moderatly funny.

But... but... how would you Nick-roll somebody? We've got the term, but we ain't got the technique have we?

Rick-rolling is old now, you have to use Kenny Loggins' song Danger Zone

Possible definition:

Nick-rolling: Taunting someone to Nade you in order to detonate the Nicks on them?

Or just repeatedly sending them lyrics to Never Gonna Give You Up while Nicking them. xD

a nick roll could be a malevolent scheme for harming another player, by first destroying their armour with a ballistic st nick, and then nading them while they dont have armour, and repeating the process until your finger is sore.

NICK ROLL:

Delivering a BNick, then a normal nick, then a BNick and so on until their grenade stock, armour stock and purse is empty. ^_^

Someone tried to do that to me.... I had already left the life of being a destroyer for the forums... it didn't phase me.
